    • A striking pair of late 18th-century Spanish pendeloque earrings, crafted in 21K gold and set with rose-cut diamonds that shimmer subtly in candlelight. 

      Weighing a total of 10.91 grams, these earrings embody the distinctive Iberian aesthetic, with intricate tracery-style goldwork typical of Salamanca, Western Spain - a region with strong influences from both Spanish and Portuguese jewellery traditions.

      Each earring is designed in the pendeloque style, featuring an articulated drop that moves gracefully with the wearer. The back-to-front Catalan closures, a hallmark of period Spanish jewellery, remain functional and secure.

      • Measurements: 4.5cm x 1.8cm
      • Closure: Traditional back-to-front (Catalan) fittings, with a 10mm hoop diameter
      • Metal: 21K gold, rich in hue and entirely handcrafted
      • Diamonds: Set with rose-cut diamonds, known for their soft, romantic sparkle

      Earrings of this type were often heirloom pieces, passed down through generations. The combination of finely worked gold and flinty rose-cut diamonds reflects the elegance of 18th-century Spanish craftsmanship, making these earrings a rare and wearable piece of history.

      Condition: Excellent, with secure fittings and gentle age-related wear commensurate with their antique nature.
